Damn, that sounds like some real valuable one of a kind kinda merch he's hocking.

So other commenters have opinions that I think are rational, but the part that I think is key that they're missing: Tenant Unions.

I have some (in my opinion) tyrannical yet lazy land lords/property managers at my current apt, and have attempted to form a tenant union. Apparently no one agrees with my level of disgust at our treatment, so I've kind of wiffed at the effort.

Which is to say that it takes real work, but it can be done and there are resources for you, but that's the first step: don't go alone.

I know Lemmy is supposed to be a "post-karma" ecosystem, but I'm happy to provide the additional upvotes and apparent activity.

Wow, yeah def a typo there. Thanks for catching that for me.

While not the newest content, it recently caused me to find and finally watch the classics Boyz in the Hood and Training Day, and this weekend I intend to watch Vice. It was also because of Netflix that I first found the new Puss in Boots movie, Blue-Eye Samurai, and Delicious in Dungeon (I generally loathe anime so those last two are fairly significant).

I think Inside Job and Narcos are Netflix only content? I thoroghly enjoyed both of those (and totally understand why people hate them for canceling Inside Job). My wife enjoyed/enjoys (she's doing a full rewatch ATM) of Orange is the New Black. The two of us also just finished binging Kim's Convenience.

They also just added some other big name content that were (I think?) Exclusive content on other platforms - specifically thinking Dune, Whiplash, and Joker.

Between discovery and availability, Netflix adds value to my life in my opinion.

100% respect for people who disagree and have contrary opinions and/or are outraged at their handling of exclusive content (ngl, I'm not happy with them canceling Inside Job). But it's good enough for me to keep around - that, and my wife is super NOT technically inclined, and I've yet to find a solution outside of a standard streaming deal (read as: anything involving sailing the high seas) that meshes with her willingness to work with it.

Edit: Spelling is hard.

This is more feel than empirical data, but Netflix feels like they've gotten markedly better over the last 2-3 months.

I get the subscription as part of a membership on some other things, but would not have paid for the service the way it's gone over the last ~2 years. That said after seeing the recent improvements, if my access to Netflix was cut off tomorrow, I'd probably shell out for the lowest non-ad tier of service.

However, mad respect for the people out there keeping the P2P/torrenting communities alive.

Edit: spelling errors

A nice bumpy trolley ride

If only it'd be enforced as such

Make it and then sell it to my wife to give to me for a gag gift next Christmas.

Her budget for such a thing would probably be ~$100 if you need a target price point.

It almost sounds like you're implying he's "big enough" to be "acquainted" with his own holes.

[โ€“] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 16 points 11 months ago

Look there's places I want to stick my dick and all of them are none of your business (so just assume whichever is worst in your mind).

This attempted contradiction doesn't seem to counteract the above comment.
